Mehhh. They are a subset of the population that have made great sacrifices regardless of their intentions or outcomes.

You willing to travel? There are a couple docs that know FAA protocols. Joseph Sirven at Mayo, but I think he recently retired. Alison Leston - UT Southwestern in Dallas. You can call her office and her staff knows about FAA stuff. You can just tell them you have to do an exam for the FAA.

Ha. I don’t want to throw that kind of shade. I am sure if you go looking, you will find it.

There are people at the airlines with DUI’s. I don’t know the actual stats, but I don’t think it’s super common. There used to be a particular regional that was always known to hire people with a DUI. I am not sure if that’s the case today. Remember, you’re not legally permitted to enter...

Sounds like they know something happened within the last four years, since that timeframe is referenced multiple times.

This is precisely why I said it’s important who administered your test. Did you know you’re allowed to talk out loud during this? It’s quite helpful.

how many times was this tested? Were you given a chance to relax and have it taken again?

Good deal. I have an advocacy service too. They told me that I should hear something soon.

Great… yeah, I have heard the tech in that system is pretty bad.

Thanks! Looks like a lot of refreshing in my future.

Medxpress status just went into final review. Will it actually show a decision, or will I just have to wait for a letter in the mail?
